Here are a bunch of graphs representing our season wide trends on all team level stats I tracked. On every X-axis you will see the game ID number (what game of the season it was as well as the result of the game. Note for result I categorized overtime games as ties.)

Correlation Analysis

General guidelines for interpretation are:

  • 0.8 – 1.0: Very strong relationship
  • 0.6 – 0.8: Strong relationship
  • 0.4 – 0.6: Moderate relationship
  • 0.2 – 0.4: Weak relationship
  • Below 0.2: Does not matter

Points What stat led us to getting or not getting 2 points on a given night.

Takeaways

  • There is a strong negative correlation between goals allowed and points earned — even stronger than the correlation between goals for and points.
  • Odd-man rushes for have the highest correlation with points (outside of actual goals). This could partially be because we generate more odd-man rushes when leading, but it still highlights their importance.
  • Special teams goal differential, Grade A chances for, rush shots/60, and odd-man rush differential all show a small but noticeable relationship with points.
  • Uncontrolled entries are negatively correlated with earning points, which is an interesting and potentially actionable insight.
